Beaded Stripes Winter Ear Warmer

November 13, 2015 · Rhelena · Leave a Comment

Here is a versatile winter ear warmer. It is very easy to adjust both in circumference as well as the width, so you can easily make an ear warmer or a cute headband for yourself or for a young child.

I love the colors in the top view. They are cheerful and perfect for keeping you warm in the cold weather.

The first version of this ear warmer / headband is on the bottom right. It was crocheted in scrap yarns and works more like a headband. (For a child it could serve as an ear warmer.) It was done with one repeat of the established stitch pattern, but for a toddler you could omit the repeat for half the width if making a toddler headband.

The second version is the larger image on top and to the left. It was done with two repeats of the established pattern and works great as an ear warmer.

See the notes within pattern for instructions on the width.

You could also double or triple the stitch count for a cozy winter cowl. It’s really that simple to adjust. :) Other ear warmers to try include the criss cross crochet ear warmer pattern or the Charisma crochet ear warmer.
